mediocre rom com
For a webtoon remake I was expecting a lot better. The positive reviews online were so baffling to me as I just couldn’t enjoy it the way I wanted. This was the most anticipated rom-com of 2026. Perfectly cast leads with a lovely backdrop and a solid webtoon to go off on. What could possibly go wrong right? From the first episode there was a lot of telling rather than showing. The characters were very undercooked and the leads didn’t have those scenes that got me giddy with excitement. As the episodes kept going I finally accepted that this show wasn’t going to get any better and I had to accept it for what it was. Lazy romance writing with comedy that felt stale all thanks to the directing and music choices in some scenes. sigh.. the potential for what this could have been hurts more than anything.Was this review helpful to you?
Magical romance drama with high rewatch value
I will never stop raving about this drama. I’ve watched this show 4 times and it gets me excited each time. Needless to say, the leads have sizzling chemistry and they are just fabulous actors. Not a hint of aversion to each other- just pure love and buzzing with chemistry. It’s so rare to see leads in a kdrama who don’t look uncomfortable when it comes to skinship and these two are it! They sold us on their romance big time. It’s unbelievable that this was KJW’s first ever rom-com because he was born for this genre. As much as the story fizzled out towards the end, this drama will always have a special place as the leads shined more than anything and that is all you need to make a rom-com successful.Was this review helpful to you?
Looks can be deceiving
I seriously went into this drama expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised. The writer wrote her characters with such care and nuance that I couldn’t believe this was a typical rom-com. I definitely judged the show mainly because the leads were so mismatched, but the actors brought their characters to life to the point I forgot all about it. This drama came on top of all the other rom-coms that aired within the year so well done to the writer. If anyone is looking for a well crafted rom-com, that won’t put you to sleep mid-way, please watch this!Was this review helpful to you?
